Session Flow Breakdown
Your session is scheduled for 50 minutes. With a few minutes of introduction and the last 10 minutes dedicated to discussion, this leaves 35-40 minutes of true presentation time. See below for a typical session flow:

• 15 minutes prior to session:  Join the meeting; prepare and test technology with MISBO staff
• First 2-5 minutes:  Session begins; staff welcome, possible sponsor showcase, introduction
• 35-40 minutes:  Your presentation, including Q&A (questions can be taken throughout session or saved until the end)
• 10 minutes:  Discussion; please prepare prompt questions to ask the audience, to get conversation started (thought-provoking, make it easy to chime in, “give an example of…” )
